Couple of things:
1st - Thanks for the post 2nd - Be careful..while these are nice promotions, some of these places will ONLY give you the discount IF you are in UNIFORM! (from experience) - call ahead if you intend to go to one of these. 3rd - LOWES (at least here in Memphis) gives 10% to Military (veteran or not) 365 days a year. 4th - here are the two sites I use to determine which companies offer military discounts - hope this helps someone http://4militaryfamilies.com/mili...counts.htm http://benefits.military.com/DC/DealIndex.jsp |

One of the reasons why I prefer Lowe's! Incidentally, Applebee's has a nationwide campaign to highlight their program, and I would expect that their restaurants will be overrun. Best get there early! Golden Corral always has a line surrounding the place when they do it, which is why I've never been. I haven't seen anything about Uno's so I'll likely be heading there. Thanks for the compilation. |
